A review of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) data by the Sun Day Campaign shows that solar and wind continue to drive the growth of US generating capacity in 2025. In the first nine months of the year, utility-scale solar accounted for over three-quarters of new capacity, with September alone seeing 98% of additions from solar. Year-to-date, wind added more capacity than natural gas, while the combined growth of all renewables represents nearly 89% of new capacity.

Stillstrom by Maersk and Port of Roenne have begun a joint white paper to assess how Energy Island Bornholm could act as a model for linking offshore wind with maritime electrification. The study, Energy Island Bornholm Powering Maritime Electrification, examines how renewable generation and future grid capacity could support charging systems for electric ferries, cargo vessels, and offshore service vessels. This is intended to help shipowners move towards battery-powered fleets and support wider decarbonisation of European transport beyond road electrification.
